on the old CDMA network we can get 1 bar of reception at our bach at Glinks Gully on Northlands westcoast, thats if we hold the phone up while standing at a specific point, its enough to send and receieve txts only, vodafone reception is completely non exisitant. We ended up getting a large measuring cup and taping it to a stick stuck in the ground, popped all the cells phones in and they worked a treat! However can not get any reception on XT, only the old CDMA. XT and Vodafone require a drive to the top of the road! Any reason for this? Its definately put me off upgrading my old nokia 6220 shown here:
XT uses different panels over CDMA and coverage foot print was never advised as been the same between the 2 networks as this would be almost impossible. Have you tried a 900mhz WCDMA devices?
